Hi, I’m Aaron.

I am a strength coach, educator and clinician.  As a strength & conditioning coach and manual therapist, my career highlights include four seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the BC Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and I also held strength and conditioning positions at other great organizations including the University of Washington, Simon Fraser University, and the Basketball BC Provincial Team.

As a basketball player, a lifetime on the court learning from Canadian National Team members instilled a passion and obsession with bettering myself and the next generation that follows. Now, I use their lessons along with a barbell, weights, and great training partners to meditate, reflect, and fuel my competitive drive. As a self-coached weightlifter, I am a British Columbia provincial medalist in the former senior 85M category, and currently a masters competitor in the 89M category. You can learn more about me here.

What I love about weightlifting is the development of body and mind, and its immense power to transcend societal barriers, foster meaningful relationships, build character, and develop leadership through the process of self-cultivation, overcoming adversity, and teamwork.

If these values resonate, it would be my pleasure to work together.
